Computer Lab!!!!
Today in Computer Lab, I played a game that was about world hunger. The games told me to do certain tasks to get food to hungry people. There was six steps, or missions to helping a certain area recover from hunger. One thing I had to was finding people that were in need, then I measured the right serving size of food for one day. Next, I drove a truck to get the food to the feeding facility. I also dropped bags of supplies from a helicopter into the village. Once the food was in the village I helped bring in supplies and food and watched the village get back on it's feet. Computer Lab helped me realize that hunger is a real issue and nearly one billion people in the world who are hungry. Computer Lab helped me realize that there are real problems in the world besides mine.

Computer Lab
Today in Computer Lab we reviewed skills in math and also learned something about the future of computers. Mr. Jost showed us a video about a new, tiny computer from England that is the size of a credit card! All the computer needs is a certain series of cords and a cell phone charger. These bitesize computers may be the future of "portable" computers. Plus, I had a chance to polish my math skills with activities for decimals, fractions, negative numbers, and percentages. At the end of each activity, I took a test to make sure I had mastered that certain skill. In summary, Computer Lab benefited ,e by letting me review my math skills and learn something new about computers and technology

Computer Lab
Today in Computer Lab, we learned about how to teach ourselves. There were videos we could look at and questions that could be answered like why are veins blue? And do fortune cookies mean anything? There was also some learning websites with subjects such as math, reading, and grammar. I also learned some interesting facts like there are many different kinds of chocolate. There were self-teaching websites such as Khan Academy and websites where you could take classes. Computer Lab taought me a lot on how I can teach myself when I have the right tools!!!!
